What touches me the most is how much I like the GUI applications look [0][1]. As a person, who use GNOME Shell DE on daily basis I really miss to see the titlebars condensed with the menu just like VSCode does. It was what I liked in the very last Unity DE and I happy to see this once again. I am also amazed how simple the TextEditor is [2][3][4] and how handy looks your libwidget components [5]. Congratulations!

Ah, an experiment in the eugenics of human behaviour. One must be careful where one treads.
You fit the extra person in the living room of one of the spaces, and put up drapes as a pretend wall.

If you get a 52nd, you put them in the garage.
Musk has stated that since humans manage to get all info from the road using only 2 cameras, then Tesla cars can do the same and don't need lidar. Which makes sense, but also humans cause thousands of deadly accidents per year using those 2 cameras. So there is no certainty Tesla will be able to do better, it is a gamble.
Not even a visible dent.

Here, in India if you mention SMS you get weird looks even from people who crossed their youth using SMS. Communication is WhatsApp here.

My physiotherapist, my doctor's nurse (who handles my appointment) they all function on WhatsApp, and no, they are even going to try Signal. Grocers, delivery people — it goes on. My bank and credit card relationship managers communicate with me on WhatsApp. They are never "migrating to" Signal.

I am the only one among my contacts who will be moving away from WhatsApp — everyone else (among my people who are using Signal sparsely or actively as of now) have WhatsApp installed and will keep it.

Most of my recent Signal convert contacts have already started replying on Signal after hours or days, some have uninstalled. Most of those people will soon uninstall it is what I expect. Unless Signal brings social features that makes these people experience FOMO of broadcasting their lives on one more network :)

Penetration of Signal in real world is way too different from what it "feels" here on HN.

I have access to 2 phones from my computer, all thanks to this pro hacker Arthur Vitali. I can access all social media messages, SMS, pictures/videos and tracking of phone calls. If you need help, contact this EMAIL- Quickarturhack AT gmail,com or WhatsApp +17025301177
He is currently fixing my friends credit and has already gotten his score up to 780. I am more than grateful I found this contact and now I am sharing with you.
The IC sockets are what tend to cause grief in an Apple ][. They used the cheapest ones they could find, not the nicer machined-pin parts.

Not sure if the //e still used sockets at all. It shouldn't have, if it did. (Well, OK, maybe for the 74LS259 that drove the annunciators on the game port. I went through a few of those back in the day, and was certainly grateful for the socket at the time.)
> So far, I'm 100% covering every day

My problem with all such tracking is - what happens to your motivation when the streak breaks?
Does an average passenger have the luxury of doing so? Plane tickets can get quite costly.
Why did you hijack the shortcut for search for this, anyway?
See, this is exactly the point. When something that seems obvious is not happening, most of the time it just means there is a gap in your understanding.

Unless you live in the north pole and get outside temps in the 3°C range, this idea is already a no-go. Refrigerators are pretty efficient, using the same energy as a single incandescent lamp. They are not fighting the internal house temperature at all - compressors/heat pumps actually get less efficient at colder temperatures, and the heat it sheds off is offsetting your heating costs.
Depends on where they're from. A large number won't have voting rights
A classic catch 22 for stuff like this is that it feels wasteful to make presets during development, as one may need to change the file format. On the other hand, it's a good way to force yourself to consider forward compatibility and various gotchas around load/save. Presets are also great for quickly checking for bugs/regression during development.
why are there prices?

and how does it compare to appwrite.io
Ignoring a million problems with this idea, I just have one question - what's a "peace sign"?

I'm a big fan of Tesla, bought their stock in 2010, drove or ridden in almost every model, I still don't think it makes the cut.

It's a bridge tech like the CFL lightbulb or the blackberry. Not that musk can't push it forward, just not with the current lineup

I've worked in tech focussed on alternative vehicle adoption for 5 years now.

This weird left-field long shot thing I'm talking about is the first time I can see it actually happening.

I know it's hair brained and wacky sounding, but I think it's also correct. Taiwan and India have a huge scooter culture for commuters on the same logic I'm banking on here. Conventional 4 doors aren't going away, but there's a large downstream opportunity following all the traditional dynamics - it's pretty by the book, even down to the dismissive attitude, especially by me.

I'm about to get 100 or so on the road in car-sharing by years end so I'll know a lot more by then. I don't know if it will work without the other pieces. Still trying to pull the inductive charging together and once aptera is actually ready to ship, I'll be getting solar ones out too. Odds are murky, but eh, let's do it anyway.
Is this a paid PR piece? I'm missing some information from experts why this might be a bad idea, and what problems it creates. A little bit of "some people will never accept it" at the end doesn't seem to go very deep.
> because that includes accidents like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanwings_Flight_9525

> He had set the autopilot to descend to 100 ft (30 m) and accelerated the speed of the descending aircraft several times thereafter.

That could have been avoided if the autopilot refused to crash the air plane. To be fair, I bet Boeing's autopilot also accepts commands to crash the plane. However this accident could have been avoided if the autopilot had refused to comply with an obviously deadly commands.
I've decided to finally roll my own matrix server, and configure bridges for the apps that fit into this "I have to use it because person x is too stubborn" category. It'll be a learning experience, and will skip all the "what do you have to hide, though?" conversations.
11kWh is kind of generous - I mean I believe you, because I've been following a Facebook fanpage of an Ioniq owner in Poland and his numbers are very similar, but I think it's due to the car's amazing efficiency comparing to the competition.

From a regular EV I would expect around 16.5kWh.
This is such a good point - in every disaster / zombie movie they somehow have gasoline to run cars but no electricity, when in reality it would be the other way round - any existing gasoline would go off after 6 months.

I've been thinking about signalling a lot lately as well. I guess we're hard wired to some degree to do this sort of stuff? It's a way to express yourself and who you are in many ways, but doing it excessively is narcissistic?
That's interesting how tipping is made a "verbose gesture" in this article. Tipping is a cultural thing – while in US, 20% tips are standard, in Germany (Europe?) from my experience it's more like 10% to be standard. Also, in Germany I percieve people tipping silently. Frqeuently even the counter personel does not notice, because there's a piggy bank or some other anonymous funding box.

I guess the social pressure is much higher if everybody in your group does a "chacka" sign...
The charitable explanation is that you don't know what a killfile is. It is a personally created and maintained list of subject lines and/or poster addresses that you don't want to see. They can be limited to specific groups or be universal; they can be used to remove entire threads or just the messages that match.

In other words, it's a personal filter on incoming information. It's Joo Janta Peril-Sensitive Sunglasses. If it is censorship, it is a censor who works for you, obeys your commands, and never imposes your opinions on anyone else.

And it's not particularly good for spam, nor does anyone think that is its purpose. A killfile works against persistent trolls and idiots.
I'm curious — what were the reasons?
Huh, that sounds interesting. How does this peering work?

Is it mostly just a bunch of intangible configuration and routing, or do you actually have equipment racked in a colo that offers peering arrangements?

I'm also curious how the pricing side of things works out. Sounds like it's not that expensive...
Honestly, as a employer, I love it. It's something completely different and fun to read. This makes it outstanding.
I agree with calling them “scummers” but “scammers” is also apt as they intend to scam the user of the extension - not necessarily the developer. Reading those emails brought to mind Bill Hicks' famous rant about “Satan's little helpers”: https://vimeo.com/36651896
> The Western urge for constantly rethinking and reevaluating history and traditions, for innovations in art and science, does not lead to an inherently stable society in the long run that spans across centuries

I'm not clear what you're saying here. Are you saying that it would be a good thing if society in western countries were more like what it was 400 years ago? Enormous improvements in science, technology, culture and civil society grew out of that 400 year history, and regressing or remaining static over that 400 years would be a disaster.

The only way to have a stable society that spans across centuries is to have a society that can change and incorporate new ideas, technology, people and ways of doing things. It's societies that aren't flexible and strong enough to cope with change that are unable to remain stable over long periods of time.
Photographer’s Avenger, Judge’s Nightmare: Copyright Lawyer Richard Liebowitz
Living in Israel I can tell you that the (current) plan involves masks and distancing for the entirety of 2021. We now have reasonable evidence that those vaccinated folks are still transmitters of the virus, and as of today, the majority of new cases in the last 48 hours were from the UK strain that targets children.

The real worry here is unfortunately human behaviour and not science. The science is clear, and it's been said/written/screamed/spraypainted that the #1 reason we have all of these restrictions is actually human behaviour as opposed to the virus itself.
I never understood the whole vest craze. I put it down as a California thing, something about the weather.
C++ seems difficult to embed because there is no standard way to expose features that don't map well to the C calling convention. Just use `extern "C"` if you want a C API. For everything else you'd have to commit to an application binary interface first, such as GObject, COM or the CLR. You need these to define calling conventions and semantics (such as initialization, exceptions, memory and resource management) well enough that other languages can bind to them.
I'm sure you can think of more effective ways to deploy $2.4 BILLION than requiring "at least $2.4 MILLION" to go towards the homeless problem (straight out of the law's text). In this case, it probably would be better to just give out $2.4m in grants with an overhead of $240K to distribute the checks.
> There is already a lot of real value in ubiquitous computing, automated warehouses, supply chain optimizations, digital entertainment, digital government services in many countries, I could go on for couple of pages now.

Is technology about, or only about optimizing value in supply chains?
Getting into matrix is kinda hard. The whole website is full with tech jargon.

Actually no, the product has a very nice market, however we are in the fault detection field, and as with all these products you will always end up with some percentage of false positive / negatives. and neither devs nor management want to take the risk to just release with known 2-3% error rates
> And sure, they do have the "great firewall", but it's smart enough to let the science\technology in while filtering the politics out.

That's not true, and given the current trend (everyone gonna use TLS) it is impossible for the "great firewall" to be smarter. For example, HN is blocked in China.

Would you call Singapore a "weak society" with little ability to innovate? It's essentially what GP was describing.
I think anything smaller than a four-door sedan will be pretty much dead on arrival in the U.S. for most people. I don't see any reason that Americans would start preferring small cars because they're electric.

Yeah, some of these parasites really wouldn't be missed at all.
I’m not sure. Perhaps one is a descendant of the other?

I think whataboutism is like

She says The storming of the Capitol was wrong because people died and our institution’s citadel was trashed

And he says

What about the BLM protests - xxx people died and yyy buildings were vandalised at a cost of zzz millions

It seems to be some kind of parallel, but not to draw an analogy - rather to excuse an action by making a distraction out of a superficially similar form(?)
Web Scraping tools – How can I get the best oil and gas industry email list?
Indeed, in the original bitcoin whitepaper [1], section 3 introduces the notion of "Timestamp server". The primary purpose of a universal ledger (for the purposes of accounting) is to record the correct ordering of events, not their timestamps. This, I believe, is what is meant by the notion of "timestamp" in "timestamp server" in the paper -- it might have been less clear had it been called "event ordering server".

> Also, in Germany I percieve people tipping silently

99% of the time everyone around me was tipping while paying the waiter at the table. You give 10 EUR note on a 9.10 bill and say “Stimmt so.”
Presumably you never get on a plane to fly anywhere then.
I just want to release because, mainly I see we are running into a loop of write something.. see it could be enhanced,, refactor / redesign.. rinse and repeat
I think the odds are we would not be but they still have to go through all the testing.
Well I think the main idea behind welfare and EBT is that it isn’t supposed to be a lifestyle. It’s supposed to be something that helps a person during tough times until they can become independent.

I do agree that UBI simplifies the entire thing. I’m just suspicious of the potential consequences.
Show HN: I made an alarm clock
Which topics are taboo? That documentation is good? Or that academic use and industry use are different? Those topics are well discussed in the community.

On the other hand, negative ranting about how everyone is wasting their time, how particular people are terrible, or how charging money for a book is inappropriate -- those are discouraged, and thankfully.
This is why I think more of the tax should be moved from buying to using. C02 tax for cars should be mostly at the pump when filling the tank, not when buying. A plug-in driven 10 000 km a year pollute more than any car driven 100 km a year.
If anything, China is an example of a society NOT stable over long term. Here in the West, we basically had two large disturbances in 2000 years: collapse of Western Roman empire (which wasn't even as bad it they made it look because most economy was in the Eastern part of it, that fared reasonably well through that crisis), and Black Death. As a big big stretch, one can also point at Napoleonic Wars and WWII but neither was nearly as bad, not even comparable to the disturbances Chinese society was going through almost every century in the same period.

And their collective identity (or huge population) didn't help them fighting wars either, they miserably lost almost every conflict they got in, even ones with themselves.
I was no able to select a color, until I added a fake purchase code. Perhaps you should mark the color selection part as disabled until it is enabled. Anyway, the server detected later the fake code and I only got a normal QR (I used https://www.google.com/ just for testing, I don't work there.)

[In the comments here, remember to add an empty line between paragraph. Otherwise the site makes a single log paragraph.]
Not only that, but lots of people’s identities are grounded in the type of car they drive.

That didn't happen by accident. It has taken a huge effort on the part of car manufacturers to get to that point.
How we almost got acquired by Facebook
> This action by the Australian Government seems to be based on the idea that what Google is doing is unfair, and so the law should be changed. Google is fighting against it because they say it's legal, and it shouldn't matter that they make a lot of money from it.

It is not really the "Australian government" it is Rupert Murdoch, a billionaire, who controls the evening news and with that, elections. It is so blatant that the party that will need to vote this into law is actually divided on this issue. Think of it: the majority party that backs the government, their representatives, are considering this too blatant corruption to follow ranks. They are famous for forming a single front on everything by the way, which I guess is the point of forming a party, but this party is certainly more united than the others.

Rupert Murdoch even had the gall to exclude any news organisation he didn't own from these payments, most famously ABC, and of course he does also own several social media companies, who unlike Facebook, are not getting hit.

> Maybe the amount taken from a single work is not the issue. Maybe what should be an infringement of copyright is having a "work" that is primarily taken from other works, even if only in small pieces.

You're saying creating an index of material from multiple sources should be prohibited or subject to paying money to everyone included in the index?

The real reason news media are doing so bad is that people just don't care about news, never mind local news, like they did at this point almost 100 years ago. Combined with global news sources like the BBC far outstripping most "popular" (except not so much anymore) news in quality. Additionally, the BBC covers Australia pretty well. This is not just visible in website visits, otherwise measured views to the evening news, for example, have plummeted even deeper.

I would also worry, if I was Mr. Murdoch that if this legislation goes through, Google, Facebook, Youtube, ... all become direct enemies of news organisations. It won't be about competing for views anymore, Facebook and Youtube, Amazon and Twitter will be banding together to deny views to news organisations even where it damages their own views, their own bottom line. I have very little doubt who will win that contest.

Furthermore, Youtube, Facebook and Twitter have an incredibly privileged position when it comes to reporting local events, they could easily outperform any news media with machine learning because of the data being uploaded through them. They could stop having any links to the outside world at all.
Can you tell us a bit more about the "conflict free merge" ? Is it based on CRDTs ? How does it work ?
>This is one of the make disappointing comments I’ve read on HN in awhile. You are literally admitting to being ignorant on the issues being discussed (“I looked up”) and justifying incorrect conclusions based on the results of immature, inaccurate research.

Do you have better sources? Because I'm quite well informed in those areas, and I mostly agree with the parent, as do all scholars.
Interesting. Would love to try this out, but I generally try to avoid Java for personal side projects. Is the plan to make a Javascript client or a full Javascript port?
There are many species of mosquitos, only a few of them bite people, even fewer live in cities and less than a handful transmit disease. We could start by killing the latter group.

Italy’s famous dome is cracking, and cosmic rays could help save it (2018)
The EV market in Poland is extremely small for a 38mln country, so I believe that by the time it reaches appropriate size the scale will tip in favour of EVs - after all we're bound by EU emissions targets and the associated CO2 market.

Brown coal has been declining in Poland faster than anticipated:

https://wysokienapiecie.pl/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/polish...

It is being replaced by imported hard coal, but that's still some improvement.

There are also plans for offshore wind, because I believe they finally found a crony that would like to pick this up and make money on government projects.

There are plans for nuclear, but let's just say that there have been for years now and they didn't even manage to pick a site, even though there's a half-finished concrete reactor hull(block?) from the communist era available.
Well, it's a bit more complicated than that. The problem here is that most of this issues have no visible direct correlation to our actions as humans, so to convince the average person you have to teach them very, very well. And starting from the very beginning, when they are small children. And that's not quick.

So, while this solution must be pursued for sure, at the same time we need quicker actions on those issues, and the quickest way is to deploy them at the management/politicians/law levels.
Isn't the average new car price around $40k in 2019/2020? Its been going up because consumers are buying overpriced SUVs instead of sedans.
You can as early as now if you are all under 35 and not seeing at risk people. The risk of dying is 3x less the one of being hit by a cart.

All the rest is pure fear-driven bullshit
I don't think any of that would fly across much of Europe and the UK, where tipping is an optional gesture and not a form of the customer subsidising the restaurant's wage bill. Certainly not 10/20% amounts when generally you'll probably just round up or leave the change behind.
> people who don’t want insects in their house might want to let spiders and other predators live with them, as a helping factor.

The spiders I have locally tend to hoard the dead, empty shells of the pillbugs (mostly) or millipedes (in one interesting case) that I presume they once caught and ate. They make for "interesting" caches to find.
